In this paper, a high power RF amplifier module using AlN substrate of high thermal conductivity has been proposed. This RF amplifier module has the advantage of compact size and effective heat dissipation for the packaging of high power chip. To fabricate the thru-hole and scribing line on AlN substrate, the key parameters of $CO_2$ laser were experimented. And then, microstrip lines and spiral planar inductors were fabricated on an AlN substrate using the thin-film process. The fabricated microstrip lines on the AlN substrate has an attenuation value of 0.1 dB/mm up to 10 GHz. The fabricated spiral planar inductor has a high quality factor, a maximum of about 62 at 1 GHz for a 5.65 nH inductor. Packaging of a RF power amplifier was implemented on an AlN substrate with thru-hole. From the measured results, the gain is 24 dB from 13 to 15 GHz and the output power is 33.65 dBm(2.3 W).

Meter reading system, operated by meter staff who reads the meter and record consumption with handhold data terminals. can cause privacy intrusion, unread meter data, abnormal readings and excessive expenses of maintaining the system. To prevent the deterioration of customer service quality, Automatic Meter Reading system, which automatically recognizes meter readings and transmit reading data through wireless RF module, is designed. From collecting the reading data to managing statistics of customer's consumption information. this automatic meter reading system provides more accurate and fast information to customers. By designing this system, customer service satisfaction and reliability can be improve

Phased-array antennas comprise a demanding antenna design methodology for commercial wireless communication systems or military radar systems. In addition to these two important applications, the phased-array antennas can be used in beamforming for wireless charging. In this study, a four-way analog beamforming front-end module (FEM) for a hybrid beamforming system is developed for 2.4 GHz operation. In a hybrid beamforming scheme, an analog beamforming FEM in which the phase and amplitude of RF signal can be adjusted between the RF chain and phased-array antenna is required. With the beamforming and beam steering capability of the phased-array antennas, wireless RF power can be transmitted with high directivity to a designated receiver for wireless charging. The four-way analog beamforming FEM has a 32 dB gain dynamic range and a phase shifting range greater than 360°. The maximum output RF power of the four-way analog beamforming FEM is 40 dBm (=10 W) when combined the four individual RF paths are combined.

In this paper, we propose a RF front-end developments for vehicle UWB radar systems. UWB systems have a very narrow pulse width that is below 1ns. Therefore, UWB is designed to have broadband quality of low power several GHz and must coexist with the radio communication system. UWB's advantages include high channel capacity and data rate, because precise resolution for multi-path can easily position estimate and Rake receiver. Also, UWB has low interference because it displays broadband quality of low power. Positioning is made possible by short range accuracy, which can reduce the expense of system design. An RF front-end module is designed using the DCR(Direct ConveRsion) method and is composed in RF for vehicles at a low-cost.

This paper presents three dimensional structure of RF packages and the improvement effect of its electrical characteristics when implementing RF transceivers. We divided RF modules into several subunits following each subunit function based on the partitioning algorithm which suggests a method of three dimension stacking interconnection, PAA(pad area array) interconnection and stacking of three dimensional RF package structures. 224MHz ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) RF module subdivided into subunits of functional blocks of a receiver(RX), a transmitter(TX), a phase locked loop(PLL) and power(PWR) unit, simultaneously meeting the requirements of impedance characteristic and system stability. Each sub­functional unit has its own frequency region of 224MHz, 21.4MHz, and 450KHz~DC. The signal gain of receiver and transmitter unit showed 18.9㏈, 23.9㏈. PLL and PWR modules also provided stable phase locking, constant voltages which agree with design specifications and maximize their characteristics. The RF module of three dimension stacking structure showed $48cm^3$, 76.9％ reduction in volume and 4.8cm, 28.4％ in net length, 41.8$^{\circ}C$, 37% in maximum operating temperature, respectively. We have found that three dimensional PAA package structure is able to produce high speed, high density, low power characteristics and to improve its functional characteristics by subdividing RF modules according to the subunit function and the operating frequency, and the features of physical volume, electrical characteristics, and thermal conditions compared to two dimensional RF circuit modules.

In this paper, we propose context information communication system using RF module to prevent railway cross accident. Since the communication module transmits to the train with high bit rate, OFDM(Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) modulation method that distributes high speed data and transmits multiple times is applied. And image information is transmitted to the train's transceiver device by using ISM band (2.4GHz frequency band) that is proper to mobile communication. By using this system, we can deal with urgent situations at the railway cross and prevent railway cross accidents in advance.

So far, many kinds of researches on the ceramic chip components and MCM-C RF module especially on the 3-dimensional ceramic module using embedded passives have been performed. LTCC system has many kinds of advantages, like low lass, low cost of process, stability of process etc.. But it's so hard to adjust the characteristics of passives in ceramic module after fabrication. So the exact prediction of behavior of components in high frequency region upper than 2 GHz must be made. In this procedure, the exact measurement is need. In this study, many kinds of measurement Jigs are compared and optimized, and measurement methods of each parameter are designed.
